Enda Kenny to seek US/EU talks on Brexit

Taoiseach Enda Kenny says that when he visits Washington DC he will seek talks between the US Congress and the EU to discuss the impact of Brexit.

Speaking in Brussels after a meeting with EU Parliament president, Antonio Tajani, Mr Kenny said he will suggest the matter in his talks with US president Trump; vice-president Mike Pence; and speaker of the House, Paul Ryan.

“When I go to America and I speak with president Trump, vice-president Pence and speaker Ryan it is important the American Congress should have discussions and have the opportunity to talk things through with the European Union. President Tajani is willing to travel to America and play his part,” he said.
